Washington: According to a senior US administration official, the U.S. President George W. Bush will delineate reforms today proposed to assist householders with subprime mortgages avoid default.

"He will also discuss reform efforts to prevent these kinds of problems from arising in the future," the senior administration official said.

The Federal Reserve has taken actions to raise liquidity in markets and confronts calls for cutting rate of interest to avert a wider credit squeeze, which could drag out economic development down.

In a statement, scheduled for 11:10 a.m. EDT in the White House Rose Garden, Bush will talk about the need for Congress to authorize Federal Housing Administration restructuring legislation aimed at giving the group the suppleness to aid subprime mortgage borrowers, two administration officials told.

One shift will be a directorial change to let the Federal Housing Administration to ensure loans for borrowers at least 90 days behind in mortgage payments to assist them avert legal proceeding.

Now its aim is to nurture home ownership by guaranteeing mortgage loans, particularly for poorer Americans who face difficulty conforming to conditions for conventional loans.
